I have 3 cars currently insured with CGU and will be ceasing all policies after this claim is finalised. My 18 year old son crashed his car into a tree on 23/01/2021, we rang to make a claim on 25/01/2021. The call was taken by an offshore call centre who are clearly given scripting they are not allowed to sway from. When I asked what I needed to do to get the process rolling I was told to wait for a call with the next steps of the process. I have followed up daily with what is required (luckily I an on annual leave ) but am told the same ...

I have never left a negative review for any business nor have I ever been driven to do it and sadly this is the first, I must say first it was somewhat soul destroying to see just how many bad reviews are on here I gave up reading after the 2nd page, how very shameful.
I have 3 comprehensive policy's with CGU 2 x Car & Contents, 3 weeks ago I had an altercation in a carpark, the other vehicle claimed I reversed into them, I maintain I had reversed out and was stationary with my foot on the brake and engaged in drive, story too long but the othe...

I had an accident Thursday, whole front damaged from minor impact! Called CGU within 20 mins. They first said they wanted me to drive to a repairer, 20 mins away. I said too much damage, towage needed. They said they arranged but when I didn't get any tow the next day called and had to go through whole claim again! What? From here they said their 'repairer' is who I need to contact. It has been a week - no one rings me at all. I advised the repairer it was urgent as I am a single parent with no other car. They "are waiting on parts". T...

I was at fault in a accident last Tuesday 12 January 2021. Car was assessed as a total loss on Friday 15th Jan. 20 January claim was settled and awaiting funds to turn up now in my bank. Quick Service and turn around. Friendly claims team who treated me courteously throughout claims procedure. From the initial call day of accident, I was shaken up from the accident while lodging my claim. They treated me with dignity from the start. Next car will be insured again with CGU. Highly recommended in your time of need.

Worst ever - I had my CC stolen so wanted to change my card details - what a carry on - the end result was that I was refused the information - My insurance was due yesterday I wanted to pay money and they refused. WTH kind of company is this?

I own a, now struggling small vehicle detailing business in Victoria. Just when you think that your up against it, being locked out of work, limits placed on you to restrict your right to trade, then this happens. A collision with the residual debris of storm damage on a country road led to, what I originally believed, minimal damage to my work vehicle. At first I wasn’t too concerned because I took refuge in the fact that I was insured.

This incident occurred on the 2nd September, I subsequently made a claim to CGU insurance on Thursday th...

My vehicle was with CGU as they are the sub company people's choice uses along side car loans. Cheap, they insure drivers under 25 with higher level cars.

BUT, as soon as you have to CHANGE details they are even too incompetent to update your details. 8 months! Yes 8 months! It took them to change my address (which was in a new state), my number plates and my phone number???

Good thing I never had to claim as I've never been in an accident (touch wood) but please beware of this useless company!!!! The customer service is AWEFUL, rude and b...

My car was a right off after a lad ran into car I was paid out in 8 days cgu did what was needed service was prompt and courteous obligations fulfilled

CGU we all know what those letters truly stand for C+++s give ulcers. I had the unfortunate scenarion to have a second car stolen in 5 months as well as a contents claim for the same night Incident, and here it is 3 months later and I am still left with being no closer to having this matter resolved . While I have been luck enough to have a great friend who lent me money to buy an old bomb until I get paid ouyt its noytgood enough CGU get your act together and stop complaining that I paid so much for the car yet insured it for the agreed value that you were offering on your website. If I dont get itt resolved soon I will instruct my lawyer to sue you in court for the full amount plus their fees and court costs

They took 2 policies out of direct debit from my car for over 16 months.
I have one car one driver. Instead of cancelling one policy they kept deducting monthly for 2 policies. Only found the issue when I reviewed the policy cover. The policies were sold by HBF. After finally resolving issue. No apologies were given, a cheque was issued with a wrong name, no loss or compensation was offered or provide and on top of that to disgust, HBF sent a letter to charge me for cost of policy increase as my car insurance was removed from my multi policy discount. Never again with HBF or CGU!

Bought my car from Mazda in 2013 with CGU Insurer suggested for my Comprehensive Car Insurance. I have been with them for 7 years now and all these years, I get an increase on premium with no reason why. Initially I thought it's part of inflation. And then I found out this week from my partner that his Insurance has given him discount and he gets that almost every year. I was like, "what? how?"... I had never claimed for anything, I have not had any accidents (God forbid! #KnockOnWood), has a Driver's rating of 1. I don't get it and yet I p...

My car was stolen and when it was recovered it was towed to CGU's authorised repairer - 40kms from the city in an area with no accessible transport. After 12 weeks and weekly phonecalls to ask for progress reports I finally get my car back. 12 weeks- must have been a lot of damage I hear you ask? The damage bill totalled $2600, mostly paint for some scratches and new keys. So for 1/4 of the year I had no car and no compensation. Worst insurance company I've ever had the misfortune to deal with.

My parked car got hit by an old man just before Christma, unluckily CGU happened to be the insurer for the old man. My insurer is waiting for them to acknowledge liability and pay for a straight forward incident, but never happened!
If you have any issue with these clowns regards the following:
-If you gave instructions and they weren’t followed.
-Where you dispute liability for a car accident or insurance excess.
-Delays in making a decision.

Try to make a complaint online directly to AFCA (Australian Financial Complaints Authority)

My car sustained a substantial impact at the front when someone reversed with quite alot of force into my car(the person who hit me is a paramedic and was responding to a job). This resulted in my car being pushed back into the corner of a trailer. The at fault party confirmed this with cgu. I requested to have the matter escalated and cgu refused, telling me that I had no option for review. It was not until my bank steped in to help me that cgu agreed to escalate the matter. Cgu have now had my car for over 3 weeks and are still refusing to fi...

They are lazy, inefficient, liar and time killer. Keep me on hold everyday for 20/30 mins and nobody talks to me finally. Such a rubbish company in Australia, can't believe it!

Lodged claim for the hailstorms in Canberra on 20 January 2020. I have been patient given the number of vehicles affected and claims. My vehicle was assessed for write off on 15 February 2020. I have called CGU twice this week and on the first day 18 February 2020 I was on hold for 3 hours and did not get to speak to anyone at all. Wasted 3 hours of my day. The next day I called, I was advised that the reason was that they haven't processed the claim was because they were waiting for me to surrender the vehicle. How is a client suppose to know ...

Lodged a claim on 20th January for hail damage, was told the "partner" repairer will contact me within 24 hours to book for an assessment. 2 weeks later receive a call from repairer whilst i was having in a meeting and couldn't pick up. Try to call back repairers to no avail, as i keep hearing the automated message. Called CGU if they can help me book the assessment on my behalf they said no and apparently the best they can do is send an email to repairer which i already did and obviously repairers don't reply emails too. It's been one month my car have not been assessed for damages can't wait to see how long it takes to get my money back from CGU if my car gets written off.

I was rear ended by another driver, we exchanged details and claims were lodged. The initial claim process with CGU was quick as the other drivers insurance company was liable for all the damages. CGU only offered two possible repairers, neither of which were close to my work or home which was a huge inconvenience.

After the car was inspected by the crash repairer, CGU were notified that my car was going to be off the road for at least a week. CGU said the only thing they would do for me and my family was provide me with a $50 cab voucher so I...

Would give Zero stars if I could. My car was damaged in the Canberra Hailstorm on the 20th January. Clearly will be a write off.
Claim lodged within 2 hours of the storm. Claims person passed on the wrong information to the outsourced assessor they used. And to the tow company. Two more hours on the phone to sort this and arrangements finally made for car to be towed. No communication from CGU or tow company about where the car went. More hours spent on the phone to determine location.
I’m now told my car has been booked in for assessment on ...

Went through our bank for car insurance with CGU. This was a mistake. CGU are dishonest, slow, inefficient and apathetic. We are currently working through a claim. CGU for the most part won't communicate with us, referring us to the repairer. The repairer refers us back to CGU. Our car is likely to be written off, but no one will communicate when an assessment will be completed. Avoid CGU, we are in the process of pulling all our policies from them. Couldn't imagine the people who lost houses in fires with CGU are dealing with.
